Christmas gift question

11-23-2005, 02:33 PM

My dad is really into is woodworking and has been building a lot of projects as of late. My mom wants to buy him something he can use to brand the woodworking projects he completes. Something like a small branding iron that has his name, city, state.

Do you guys know of anywhere I could find something like this. Any sites that build custom wood branding irons.

Sorry if I am using the wrong terminoligy on some of this stuff. I am just a computer nerd

There are probably several places to order just what you want, but first to come to mind is Rockler ( www.rockler.com ). Their Holiday, 2005 catalog has a few "branding irons" on page 7 with selections for various shapes, lines of type, signature, or even logotypes. Also in choices of electric or torch heated.

I know I've seen them in many places, but grabbing a couple of catalogs, I can't locate what I want to find (isn't that always the way?). But, in addition to Rockler, I did find them at www.pricecutter.com (Page 70, in their 3/05 catalog),

Comment

In addition to Rockler or Price Cutter, Hartville Tool or Woodcraft should have something like that too. Hartville will give a 15% discount if you write "Woodnet 15%" in the shipping comments online, or you could just mention in a phone order that you're a Woodnet member...of course you'll have to actually sign up to maintain your integrity! Might be easier just to "inquire" about the Woodnet discount!

Thanks for the quick response guys. I knew you would know where to look. My dad would probably know too (he has Rockler catalogs laying all over their house) but ssking him would probably give it away.
